Oh, c'mon.

Now you know that's both impossible and possible.

I am on the Hopey Tree, my life goes downhill from here.

You guys do realise there's no such thing as a first, second, third or fourth dimension, right?

Not until you visit the lighthouse for the first time.

Do people worship the Hopey Tree's awesome power?

Historians shall be the judge of that.

Historians? Why?

Its a joke.

Historians often attribute anything they can't work out to being a "mystical god" thing.

I wouldn't be surprised, for example, if future historians said that the KFC Coln was a deity that we worshipped.

I've not looked at it for a while

So wait.

Assume Hopey adopts Bob as his father, son, brother, and uncle. Then Bob marries Alice (making her a stepmother, sister-in-law, aunt, and daughter-in-law). Bob and Alice have a child, named Candice.

Candice is now Hopey's stepsister, niece, granddaughter, and cousin, without ever having been directly adopted.

If Hopey now adopts Candice as his sister, daughter, mother and aunt, he becomes related to her in eight separate ways, and it is legally considered incest for them to be in the same room.

If Hopey then retroactively adopts Alice as a sister-daughter-mother-aunt, Candice's family tree implodes into being a family tumbleweed, and Candice herself becomes a five-eyed Lovecraftian horror known only as "Scion of the Hopeless".

We must take drastic measures to ensure that this being never awakens.

Is it a problem that I've never actually looked at the Hopey Tree?

No. You must protect your virgin eyes.

It's in the OP.

It would probably take less energy to click the link than to proclaim how lazy you are.

It would take more effort to find myself than it would to do that.
